Porcelain Tea Cup Sets...any Good ones?

Picked these up yesterday, see any here worth more than $25 ?
or any pattern names? I am hopeless when finding pattern names! THANKS for looking / helping

2- Royal Hieldelberg Winterling-(foreground), top L to R Lefton, and Royal Chelsea

3 occupied Japan, and 1(left front) Norcrest Japan

 

These were everywhere in the 60s and 70s and sold to be collected. They sell for pretty, but not for money at least around here. The one I like is the Royal Chelsea cup. Lefton, btw, is Japanese too.

 

evelyb, thanks! it is as I thought, but for a buck each I couldn't pass them up I will sell in a couple lots and sell the Chelsea on its own. The Royal Chelsea is my favorite as well and will probably bring in $25 The Lefton is marked and says Japan.

 

People like those black cups, but my experience says $15 or so is the best you can expect.

The blue and white above it looks interesting, but I doubt $25 interesting. Can't really see the pattern. Goes it have a lithophane?

For $1 each, I think they're good buys. Cups and saucers around here rarely go for less than $5 even at garage sales.

 

more, The occupied Japan cobalt and blue does not have a lithophane, it is eggshell but as you said $15 range as well. I think the only one I will list separately is the Royal Chelsea.

 

Last year, on Craigs List, I sold a huge lot of cups and saucers, some mismatched, to a woman who used them for a tea party bridal shower. She made place cards that stated the cups and saucers were gifts to take home. I sold them for more than I would have received on ebay and she thought it was a great deal without having to pay for shipping.

 

Aside from the Royal Chelsea (which is nice, although I consider it a middle-range British manufacturer), you'd be hard-pressed to sell them for $5 ea. at a garage sale here. Victoria is the tea-and-crumpet capital of Canada and there are tons of tea cups around -- I should know, I own a good quantity of them myself!

 

Hi Mill Cove,
Reminds me of years ago I had a friend whose daughter was getting married and wanted Manhattan depression glass for table settings. Finding thirty-five sets of the candle holders was fun. Selling them later took for ever. I should have thought to give them away as a table prize. The other pieces of Manhattan flew out the door. If they were round instead of square it might have been a different story.
